Current Limit and Fault Responses Test
Follow the instructions to verify the current limit and various fault response modes like auto-retry, latch and
circuit breaker with auto-retry:
1. Set up the oscilloscope as listed in
.

VOUT2 (TP12)
Channel 2 = 10V / div
VIN1 (TP2)
VIN2 (TP11)
Channel 4 = 2 A / div
Input current into T1 +Ve wire

Trigger source = Channel 2
Trigger level = 12 V ±1V
Trigger polarity = Rising
Trigger mode = Single

NOTE:
Note : Measuring the current limit value on the oscilloscope can easily cause ±10% error
from the typical expected values as listed in
2. Set the current limit to 2.23 A by installing the J5/J12 jumper in position 1-2.
3. The jumper setting for different current limits is shown in
.
4. Set the current limit response to auto-retry by installing the J4/J11 jumper in position 2-3.
